Mariah Carey’s song “Without You” was the absolute hit of the 90s. Since then, many have tried to replicate her success, attempting to surpass the original, but few have succeeded. The composition itself is vocally complex, requiring significant effort to perform even at a comparable level.
Surprisingly, the only ones who managed to do it are young Odessans Anastasia and Victoria Petrik. At the time of the performance, the eldest, Vika, was 16 years old, and her sister was 11. When they came out to sing, no one expected such depth and power, but from the first minute, their voices captivated the audience. Initially, the jury didn’t trust them, as no one had dared to attempt that song before, knowing it wouldn’t be easy. These sisters took the stage united and confident, and both were able to showcase their talent by performing such a difficult song.
Seeing them, the jury initially thought they would deliver an ordinary performance. However, that impression quickly changed when the girls took the stage with their powerful and charming voices. They supported each other and understood each other at a glance, even at such a young age. The fact remained that a powerful performance was a powerful performance. Their voices spread throughout the hall, capturing thousands of hearts. Every note of their song penetrated deeply, evoking strong emotions and thoughts.
Thanks to their unparalleled voices, they became the unique performers and winners of the day. They were widely praised, with reports in popular newspapers and on television highlighting their exceptional vocal talent and comparing them to the original singer. They delivered their performance hand in hand, without constraint, excitement, or hesitation. Such a performance truly deserved to be called a victory and to receive recognition. They were the only ones who changed the jury’s opinion and way of thinking.
